Hi Jeremy,
I support the idea and project. I will dedicate my time in mapping this
to help my West African neighbor.
Blake, am interested. Will contact you off list.
Regards.

Don't have time to help out now with this, but I like the idea!
Just a small remark : recently we got high resolution imagery for
whole Cameroon from DigitalGlobe. And in the far north along the
border with Nigera they face the same problems
<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/11341289/Boko-Haram-push-across-border-to-attack-Cameroon-army.html>,
and Nigerian refugees are coming too... So it might be an idea to
start over there? I now a bunch of ngo's are working in the far north,
like French Red Cross, GIZ and Unicef.
Good luck!

Hi Jeremy,
I support the project idea and am glad to help with creating,
documenting and managing projects in the Tasking Manger (which is
not the hardest part of a project like this) for whomever would
like to manage the overall project.
The first step would be to work out the licensing issues with the
imagery and it needs to be put on a TMS server so we can use it in
iD and JOSM.
We have a process for imagery that I am not familiar with except
that I know requests always exceed availability in terms of
imagery available, hosting and bandwidth to make it available and
people power to get it it all arraigned.
It seems like the availability is taken care of, not by Amnesty
International, but by their imagery provider, DigitalGlobe who is
very generous with our HOT mapping needs is my understanding, so I
think they are receptive to licensing for our use but would have
to specifically grant us permission to use the imagery they
provided to AI as it does not look to me like AI's current usage
rights would allow us to use it. Plus we would need the
georeferenced hi-res source imagery that AI is not providing. Then
the hosting issue.
But the whole process is something even a fairly new HOT community
member can give a try if you (or anyone) is interested. It will
just take a bit longer as you will have to learn the process as
well as go through it :)
If you (or anyone) is interested, I am happy to help, I want to
learn the process myself anyway. Just contact me off list and let
me know.
And of course, this is just my opinion and understanding, I could
be missing something totally.
Cheers,
Blake

Hi,
After the attacks of Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria this
january, a
similar reaction as in Gaza (mapping before/after with the help of
appropriate aerial images) could be appropriate to help build
a precise
evaluation of the damages.
As a fairly new/unexperienced HOT contributor, I couldn't find any
indication of such a project. Is it on track already, or is it
planned ?
Some aerial images released from Amnesty International :
